So what happens if May cannot get her queens speech through Parliament? I may be wrong but she will have to call another election.
Indeed Lew. It’s all a bit of a mess. Strong and stable leadership has turned a bit wobbly, desperate and anything but stable.
Clearly it’s why Theresa is desperate to do a deal with the DUP. And I’m guessing the DUP are pushing their demands hard, hence the delay.
But this is where Westminster is stuck in its majority mindset. Minority administration or coalition is the norm in many a western nation, indeed it’s generally how we do our business in Scotland, but then nobody wants to work with the Tory party, and very much more so since it’s taken a big swing to the right.
Nor is it easy to sit down and negotiate, in the case of the Tories, when you have just spent the last few weeks personally insulting your opponents.
Meanwhile the pound has slipped, business confidence is nosediving, and, umm, yes Fazersharp the leaders of some 27 European nations are having a wee giggle to themselves.
So, so far it looks like BREXIT has claimed the scalps of two Prime Ministers and left a Tory party with a working majority now clinging to power with of all people the DUP! As Micheal Heseltine put it “Brexit is the cancer gnawing at the heart of the conservative party.”
